Back deck contemplations: decreased funding to NWS isn't going to stop storms or climate change. Ending children vaxx isn't going to stop disease. Decreased NPS rangers & staff just causes site destruction. Taxes exist to provide a benefit to the public, not for personal gain of elected officials.

Each stick has to be placed just right in the nest. There isn't much known about the breeding of the Agami Heron, but that's going to be much easier now with this amazing new rookery discovered in northern Costa Rica. We've watched the birds collecting material and working on their nests. #birds

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸

Always great to see and stand up for democracy with @governor.ny.gov and @governorwalz.mn.gov.

Between 1970 and 1985, a typical American family could save 10% of their income for about five years and accumulate a 20% down payment on a median-priced existing single-family home, according to a New York Times analysis. As of 2023, it would take nearly eight years, the data shows. nyti.ms/3FKEzkx

This nails it. 👇

If there's any silver lining to news coming out of California today, it involved my S Philly Italian-heritage wife taking her frustrations out in the kitchen. Homemade noodles, gravy & meatballs, followed by her coffee ice cream. Just wish everyone could see the "melting pot" beauty that's America!

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

BREAKING: Senator Padilla after being thrown to ground and cuffed: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers..."

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

"The officers claim the failure to install the memorial plaque on the Capitol reflects an effort by Trump to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 riot. 'Even those who recognized the violence of the day eventually partnered with the man who both inspired and minimized it,' the suit says."

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman served with honor, testifying to truth over fear. A Purple Heart recipient, he put duty to country above all. Now, he’s speaking out against Trump’s threats to democracy—because real patriots don’t stay silent when freedom is on the line.

California senator @senalexpadilla physically dragged off for trying to ask Kristi Noem a question…

BREAKING The Supreme Court just ruled unanimously that families can sue the FBI for wrong-house raids. Justice at last. Kicking in innocent people’s doors can’t just be written off as “following orders.” The government will be held accountable. www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...

Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday celebration at the Hollywood Bowl could have been mistaken for a retirement party. But two years later at 92, he’s working as much as ever.

Sen. Mark Kelly, a Navy vet and astronaut, says military parades should honor service—not glorify Trump. He’s spoken out against Trump’s election lies and warns of rising extremism. Kelly stands for duty, democracy, and facts—not political spectacle.

"...the total amount of public lands for sale could be as high as 3.29 million acres. The bill would allow sales in all western states, except Montana...Research also shows that creating more housing in scenic resort towns and gateway communities doesn’t usually result in more affordable housing."

Call your Senators www.hcn.org/articles/sen... No one living in Teton County, ID or Teton County, Wyoming want our National forest cut down for the mansions of the super wealthy. #Idaho

In 1963, 24 years after the Wizard of Oz premiered, Ray Bolger came on The Judy Garland show and performed, If I only Had A Brain. Judy's eyes the entire time... Happy Birthday Jude

70% of US farm workers are non-citizen immigrants. Of those, nearly half are undocumented. Good luck with feeding America, Miller and Trump.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

REMEMBER THIS?This is Officer Michael Fanone. On Jan 6, he was beaten, tased, and nearly killed defending the Capitol. Trump ignored pleas to send help—then pardoned the attackers. Now he claims to “back the blue”? We remember who stood by law enforcement—and who betrayed them.

After the U.S. government drove wolves to near extinction, a spiritual connection is what led Nez Perce Tribe to work to bring the himíin back to Idaho, Yellowstone and the West. This is the story of how they pulled off a task no one else wanted – and why they’re still fighting for wolves today.

I love Jimmy Kimmel. youtu.be/baR4logaaOQ?...
